Yuan Zhi still couldn't accept it: "The real Lan Xiaomei is not me. I have no experience at all. If I go in, someone might die."

Shen Qingchan's expression was serious as she uttered words that sent a shiver down Yuan Zhi's spine: "In the end, everyone in this hospital died, and it has nothing to do with you."

Yuan Zhi: "They...they're all dead? The doctors and nurses too?"

Shen Qingchan nodded: "Yes, you must go in and keep an eye on Pei Wen's every move. He is probably performing organ transplants on mental patients. Their deaths are likely caused by the organ transplant surgery. But as for who faked the suicide, I currently have two guesses."

Yuan Zhi asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Qingchan rested her chin on her hand: "It's either Pei Wen or the hospital owner."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi felt a dull pain in her chest for some reason, and subconsciously blurted out, "I never imagined my son would do this for me..."

Suddenly realizing what he had said, he snapped back to reality and angrily retorted, "Pah! I have no son!"

Shen Qingchan added, "By the way, turn on that prop and talk to me in real time."

Yuan Zhi opened her backpack, which contained a [Call] item. She pressed the use button, then entered Luo Yan's name. The item disappeared the instant it was activated.

Shen Qingchan heard Yuan Zhi's voice in her mind: "Luo Yan!"

She subconsciously responded in her mind, and the image in her left eye instantly changed to another scene.

"I heard you reply to me, how amazing!" Yuan Zhi turned to look at her with a hint of excitement. The image in Shen Qingchan's left eye changed, and her own image appeared.

Her left eye began to resonate with Yuan Xiaoxuan's, and the images Yuan Xiaoxuan saw would also be reflected in her eyes.

These spectators must be quite something! They have all sorts of props.

Shen Qingchan: "Go quickly! I'll be waiting for your good news."

Yuan Zhi was a little flustered: "I'm really afraid that my bad luck skill will ruin our plans."

"You are Lan Xiaomei now, an NPC, where would you get skills?"

Yuan Zhi suddenly realized, "I see."

After agreeing on all the actions according to Shen Qingchan's instructions, the two parted ways in the corridor. Yuan Zhi walked towards Pei Wen's office, while Shen Qingchan returned to ward 444.

Yuan Zhi was a little nervous at first, but she gradually got into the zone as she walked down the corridor. As soon as she passed the office window, Pei Wen spotted her and got up to walk out the door.

"Mom, what brings you here?" Pei Wen said, glancing subconsciously at Yuan Zhi's feet. Yuan Zhi mimicked her perfectly, not noticing anything amiss. "Your feet... seem to be in worse shape."

"It's alright." Yuan Zhi was at a loss for how to respond, so she mentally asked Shen Qingchan for help, and Shen Qingchan taught her how to speak.

Yuan Zhi repeated directly: "I've seen quite a few doctors get laid off. You still need to perform surgery, won't you be short-staffed? Do you need my help?"

Pei Wen was already worried about this, but when he heard Lan Xiaomei say this, his eyes lit up: "Really! You're really willing to go into the operating room? I thought... I thought you would never go into the operating room again. Back then, Dad died... Ah, let's not talk about that. With you here, it's definitely better. I'm more confident."

Yuan Zhi was taken aback by Pei Wen's excitement and was momentarily at a loss for words.

But she still listened to Shen Qingchan and continued to ask, "When will the surgery be performed?"

Pei Wen sighed: "I'm about to leave. The surgery is in progress right now, but the people inside can't continue, so I have to go and fill in."

Before Yuan Zhi could react, Pei Wen hurriedly pulled her toward the changing room.

Pei Wen said, "Mom, come into the operating room as soon as you've changed your clothes. I need you."

There are two doors in the changing room. After you go in and change, the door behind you leads to the operating room.

Yuan Zhi looked at the surgical gown, and the moment she touched it, her hand moved unconsciously. Her attire was very proper, and she only snapped out of her daze when Shen Qingchan interrupted her.

Shen Qingchan: "You look like a seasoned doctor."

By then, Yuan Zhi was already dressed: "Maybe it's because I've seen doctors wearing sterile gowns on TV dramas?"

As she spoke, the steps for putting on a surgical gown instantly flashed through her mind.

Yuan Zhi opened another door leading to the operating room. The temperature suddenly dropped, making her want to sneeze, but she held it in.

She was wearing a mask and her head was covered, so no one could tell which doctor she was, but she was able to find Pei Wen very quickly.

Pei Wen had already gone to the operating table and started working.

Following Shen Qingchan's instructions, she handed Pei Wen tools while glancing at the patient lying on the operating table. The patient was lying face down on the bed, her face turned to the side. She was a little girl whom she did not recognize.

Shen Qingchan saw the person through her left eye; the face was deathly pale—it was the person she was looking for.

Nie Xiaoxiao.

Yuan Zhi handed Pei Wen the tools in an orderly manner, which relieved Pei Wen of a lot of pressure.

After observing Yuan Zhi's gaze for a while, Shen Qingchan realized the purpose of Pei Wen's surgery.

This turned out to be an organ harvesting surgery, taking one of Nie Xiaoxiao's kidneys.

Time ticked by, but Pei Wen's movements remained fluid and effortless, demonstrating his familiarity with the procedure and his confidence.

Until the end of the surgery, all the readings on the instruments connected to Nie Xiaoxiao's body were within the normal range, and there were no problems.

Yuan Zhi's legs were starting to go numb, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat. She stared intently at the electronic instrument, her brows furrowing slightly.

Shen Qingchan remained silent; she had already experienced what followed.

The operating room door opened, and Nie Xiaoxiao slowly woke up on the hospital bed. She was wheeled out by the doctors and nurses, and Director Nie, who was sitting outside the door, immediately stood up.

The chair behind Director Nie was gleaming, with the faces of the doctors clearly imprinted on it.

From Yuan Xiaoxuan's perspective, she saw the doctor standing next to Pei Wen.

Those familiar eyes matched the ones I remembered.

In another side quest, Yuan Xiaoxuan, or rather Lan Xiaomei, also went into the operating room to help Pei Wen complete the surgery.

Shen Qingchan fell silent. Yuan Zhi kept her eyes fixed ahead as she and Pei Wen pushed Nie Xiaoxiao back to room 444.

She heard a series of clear footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling on the floor. After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingchan finally hid in the bathroom of the ward.

After Director Nie was driven away, only a desperate Nie Xiaoxiao and other doctors remained in the ward.

Judging from the commotion outside, from Lan Xiaomei's perspective, the other doctors left not long after, leaving only Lan Xiaomei still watching.

Nie Xiaoxiao's eyes were brimming with tears, her gaze vacant, and the numbers on the instruments beside her continued to drop.
